This is the first post that I'm written thanks to the new Google Buzz. Well, more thanks to am monkeyd who told us about the recent changes (and also thanks to him we got everything up and running), but anyway.

Now back to the post. Nautilus Elementary got some really nice changes today. The most important one is the integration of Gloobus Flow. Other changes include RGBA enabling/disabling, icons for the zoom slider (which can also be enabled/disabled) and a new hotkey for toggling the menubar: F8.

The code hasn't been released in the PPA yet, so to install it, follow the steps below:

1. Install Clutter and Clutter-GTK from GIT (yes, this is necessarily for the CoverFlow):

To enable / disable the RGBA support, press ALT + F2, enter: gconf-editor and then navigate to apps > nautilus > preferences and enable / disable the "rgba_colormap" key. Do the same for "show_zoom_slider" or "show_zoom_slider_icons" which can be found in the same place.

Please note:

for the RGBA to work, you need to use a Murrine theme;

to enable the Clutter View for a folder, go to View > Clutter View

Remember! Clutter (Cover) Flow is still alpha!

Uninstall Nautilus Elementary

If you want to uninstall Nautilus Elementary, simply follow the steps below:

cd
cd 2.28.4/
sudo make uninstall

Then open Synaptic, search for Nautilus (if you don't have any -dev packages installed, the nautilus packages which need reinstalling should be: nautilus, libnautilus-extension1 and nautilus-data) and reinstall the packages.
